India vs New Zealand 2019: It Was An Outstanding Performance - Kane Williamson

Well, it was pure dominance by the host Kiwis against Indian National Cricket Team. They have completely outsmarted the opposition in all sections of the game to avoid the danger of whitewash at home and also got their first point in their kitty. The saviour for the Kane Williamson-led side was their star bowler Trent Boult.

Initially, it was Trent Boult and Colin de Grandhomme show, who rattled the defence of Indian batting attack. They exploited the weakness of Indians pretty smartly to bundle out there for 92 runs on the board. Then, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls made it look easy while chasing.

Moreover, Kane Williamson added that they weren’t expecting the pitch to help in such a way. He went on to say adding that they want to make a swing, like a weapon, which worked beautifully. Kane also showered words of praise on the batsmen for finishing the task without any further hiccups.

”We didn’t expect the surface to behave like this. Nice to restrict them to a 90-odd total. It stood up a little bit and nipped a bit. It spun as well. One of those days, things went well. Credit to the areas guys bowled. We always wanted early wickets, to be able to that was a real step at the right direction. It was swinging, that was a weapon we wanted to use. Because we were able to put India under pressure, we were able to pick regular wickets. We exploited really well and chased down nicely as well. We always play to win and today was an outstanding performance,” he quoted.

”We’ll be on a different surface at Wellington. Cricket will be different. Great to have a win today, Against a team like India, it’s going to be a strong challenge. He played beautifully, it was challenging. Guptill whacked it around and other guys chipped in well. An opportunity to play against the best team in the world – great opportunity to improve,” he added.

Well, as Kane Williamson said, it was a brilliant game for New Zealand. They used the swing to their advantage to make a mockery of Indian batting. Ahead of the ICC World Cup 2019, they have got to know quite a few things to improve, which is a blessing in disguise for the team.

However, it has been a splendid show by New Zealand after losing three games in a row. Trent Boult, who born and brought up his cricket in the very same venue broken quite a few records to his name. They would like to repeat the same in the final ODI to see the series scoreline look better on the paper.
